You should:A. cool the child with tepid water and transport to the hospital.B. suspect that the child has meningitis and transport at once.C. place the child in cold water to attempt to reduce her fever.D. allow the mother to drive her daughter to the hospital.

Answer 1

Answer:

I would say A.

Explanation:

I think this because this drops the temperature so the fever will be gone. Then I would take the child to a hospital once the fever has dropped. Hope this helps! : )

Answer 2

Answer:
I believe it would be A

Explanation:
The ear infection could’ve caused a fever which could’ve given the child a seizure. Cooling the child down and then taking her to the hospital would be something I’d do.
